Quiet Communion with God

God is a God of peace. His ways are not found in the paths of discord and strife. He does not come with blare of trumpets or in show and ostentation. Quietly and all unseen to the natural vision, he speaks to the waiting, trusting heart of his child. He says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” It is profitable to cultivate quietness. It is profitable to meditate quietly upon God’s goodness and his providences in our lives, to throw open the soul to the divine influences of his Holy Spirit. At these quiet seasons God will speak to us as he did to Elijah, and we shall come to know that even when shut in from human companionship, we may experience sweet and satisfying communion with God. “It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.”
